Not every website has slashdot's godforsaken insistence on re-feeding you the mobile version every five damn minutes. Some of them take a hint and if you are logged in take you to your preferred version and don't eat up your mobile cap serving the same fucking mobile page you already told it a thousand times you don't want.

I already do this with my Nexus 7 2013, and sometimes my Nexus 5. The N7 needs an HD monitor as the res is too high for the big screen TV but the N5 works great at 55". Bluetooth Keyboard, laser airmouse, wirelesss stereo headset with boom mic or phone style phone earpiece. Plenty of CPU, GPU, storage and network. Works great for teleconferencing, documents, light video editing, remoting to various desktops and servers - even cloud desktops and servers - using a variety of methods and tools. I can even SSH and VPN, FTP and whatnot. The future is now.

It would be nice if we could get a Nexus 10 or 12 with this kind of display quality and performance. People would buy that. I don't know what the holdup on the next N10 is.

I recall Unix purists in the 80's saying that XServer users were heathens too.

Money can buy.

Good thing Google makes their own switches and routers to be nonblocking.

There is nothing draconian about "you can't sell shared services on your home network connection.". It is standard.

Google owns a number of peering centers, including the world's largest one in Manhattan. Nobody in their right mind would refuse Google's free peering.

Keep pitching that "Windows is for real work" idea. It is destroying the Mobile/CE business.

They are selling it as a laptop. If Microsoft wants to sell laptops they should tell HP, Lenovo, Acer, Asus, Dell, Fujitsu, Toshiba, Samsung et.al. to piss off and sell an actual laptop. Not sell a tablet as a laptop. That is not going to save them any points with their hardware "partners". May as well start selling servers now too.

This seems to be the product positioning strategy. It is going to take a lot more than waving your hand and saying "this is the Macbook and iPad you are looking for." Mainly because it isn't.

Meaning it is best at neither. Just muddled enough to offend everyone.

I wonder how HP, Lenovo, Acer, ASUS, Samsung and Dell are going to feel about their software vendor going after their laptop business.

Then there's the rest of us. As the campfire turns to embers on our Amazon trek we like to whip out a PC and do some intense architectural design way out beyond cellular range.

What they do is use their total information awareness to find some excuse to put the executives in prison for a completely different reason. The difference matters little to the executive.

There was also the N-reactor which produced both plutonium and civilian electrical power.
